One thing that I thought about when I read this is that Ledger has the paper to write your seeds on to, why did you even bother to put it in an online storage? The probability of guessing some random seed phrase that has balance is nearly impossible. If it was that easy, cryptocurrencies should be no longer existing because it's flawed but it's not. So it's still here.

Probably make amends with yourself and accept the loss. You can't do anything about it anymore. Anyway, did you see the transactions that had happened in your wallet? That it really left the address etc?

Although I haven't used Hardware wallet yet for my crypto assets but we know that it is the most strong and secure system for crypto storing, then how is it possible i can't understand.
You used public wifi, maybe it your mistake. I know that public wifi is not secure, although i can't understand that what is the main mistake but i think it this was your mistake.

Hi guys,

unfortunately, my ledger hardware got hacked last night and 100% of the funds were transferred into another address. I have no idea how this happened. I have never shared my seed words to any websites. I used the same wallet for over 4 years with no problem. The only thing I can think of is that I connected my laptop yesterday afternoon in a public wifi hotspot at stansted airport, in London. I flew from there later that day, and as soon as i landed, i checked the balance and it was 0!!! Any idea how did this happen, as Im running out of hope!
public wifi isn't safe anymore nowadays mate, wherien even you use a very secured wallet as long as you're connected to the wifi because that's how they can access your private information and etc..
I hope you read these if you used to connect public wifi especially when travelling..
 "in this way, the criminal can access users' banking credentials, account passwords and other valuable information. Public Wi-Fi is inherently insecure — so be cautious. Laptops, smartphones and tablets are all" susceptible to the wireless security risks. Don't just assume that the Wi-Fi link is legitimate."

I think hackers got into your laptop while you were using a public wifi hotspot at Stansted Airport, in London. now we have to be very careful in using public hotspots because hackers can enter laptops through public hotspot networks, we should store very important data on a special laptop at home and not to be taken out of the house to avoid hackers.
